Untitled New Project – Looking for Interested
Codename Buzzard
Codename Buzzard
1. Preface
The Helper Community, for this I’ve been waiting too long. I want to start a new big project and it will need some interested people for joining the development team. I think we all agree that with the right people we can do everything we want; it is just a matter of time and dedication.
-
The project is still untitled this is because I want all members of this project giving ideas for the future name. This is going to be something big, with a great community behind it, good developers, great playability, stunning effects, epic scenario/terrain, unique spells/models/units. So if you are a creative person with that likes some Players versus Player action going on, you will love this map. The real deal behind this is that we are going to make players feel the action.
-
People who had the opportunity to play some decent MMO know what I’m talking about, the Player vs. Player tension is so good and we are going to explore this feature the best way we can. I’m feeling excited about all this, so I’m thinking when we got more members and more close to the beta testing I will host an website for publishing this work better.

2. Gameplay Main Feature
- Insane Player vs. Player action.
“Player versus player, or PvP, is a type of multiplayer interactive conflict within a game between two or more live participants. This is in contrast to games where players compete against computer controlled opponents, which is correspondingly referred to as player versus environment (PvE). The terms are most often used in games where both activities exist, particularly MMORPGs, MUDs and other computer role-playing games.” – Wikipedia
So we’re bringing this key (Insane PvP action) concept in our project, along with PvE. The action must focus more on PvP but we’re not letting the creeping/leveling process all behind, no that’s not it. As a side note: if you ever played MMORPGs you know theres no better feeling in gaming than owning your enemies in a PvP. Also this PvP action must be in a way that no player can “occasionally” kill another, it must require strategy and skill.
-
- Superb eye-candy and contextual spells.

“Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction” – Wikipedia
So with this definition of beauty we can bring this to the subject – spells. When we are developing the spells and skills for this project, we’re going to make them good for the eyes. Because of that we might need some good models for them, that’s why this team need some dedicated/good model designer, to make the spell the best model they can.
-
- Player skill matters! No imbalanced heroes/items.
-
- Player skill matters! No imbalanced heroes/items.
If you ever played some MMORPG you certainly faced this issue. Some games offer ways of players acquiring certain items that other players doesn’t stand a minimal chance against them. This is called game balancing, and this should be very well done. No one wants to play a game where you can get 1 hit kill/1 hit die. That’s not fun !
-
- Party. That means there will be “support type” heroes.
Teams (not defined how they are going to be) will work like partys, that means they must work together to manage their win. This must be discussed and defined as there can be many different situations like 6v6, 5v5, 4v4v4, etc…
3. Development Main Points
- Cooperative teamwork. Project development through the Iterative Cycle.
“The basic idea behind iterative system is to develop the project incrementally, allowing the developers to take advantage of what was being learned during the development of earlier, incremental, deliverable versions of the system. This is for software development, but we can rework it and adjust for our needs.”
-
- Creative members.
“Creativity is a mental process involving the discovery of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the existing ideas or concepts, fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.” – Wikipedia.
We must be creative, there’s no way of making a good map if we lack creativity.
-
- vJASS based development.
We’re going to use Object-Oriented Programming, and so, the way to to this is vJASS. Don’t know if we’re going to use ZINC.
Side note: I’m very commited to code quality. If something don't looks it won't enter until refactoring.
